FXP team, though it's sad you're already stopping X8 development, we're still very thankful for all the hardwork you have given on this device.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Dare-Devil Inside:
We know that but real question is - when FM/camera will be fixed and how/by who? Who is gonna fix those bugs if J is no longer working on this.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] _JoaoCampos:
What exactly does that mean? Are we still going to get a fully out-of-box "stock" CM7 rom?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] xpaa:
have you tried any player from market such as QQPLAYER etc??
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] PhonerX:
I tried vplayer on my mp4 files, but it could not play any of them. On stock 2.1 vplayer played all of them.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] ojojoj:
solved self.

@jerpelea please add in build.prop file this command line:

ro.sf.lcd_density=160

160 - by default X8 (I use 135)

and would be nice to see this in future your builds;)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] jamesbond22:

[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] jerpelea:
camera can be fixed if semc releases some references or we have free time

fm is using same chip as msm7x30 so fixing it for 7x30 will bring fm also on msm7x27
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] rav3n_pl:
Or s1 will mod FXP to work on modules we have already in GDX and other roms... hopefully :)

Loading 043 anyway, not using FM or camera ;]
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Rycon33:
flashed fxp043 kernel, and install fxp043 rom, still showing error "process system is not responding" then phone freezes afterwards.

now went back to stable fxp028 kernel/rom
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] PaganBlood:
Here too, the same problem.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] RodrigoOgasawara:
I having the same problem too and plus,reboot when i try to turn on wifi.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] jerpelea:
strange

please try

adb remount

adb shell

rm /system/app/Ant*

reboot
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Rycon33:
after removing Ant*, able to setup phone, no more "process system not responding" error, able to install apps and do surfing while on 3g. but once I setup my phone for wifi, encountered bootloop.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] rav3n_pl:
"Not responding" "choose FC/wait" then bootloop after turning wifi on :/

Cant even use adb.

Edit: It is kernel problem. Flashed back 028 kernel, restored backup, flashed 043 kernel, boot: ok.

Turned on wifi -reboot and bootloop.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] PaganBlood:
What combination of kernel and wifi rom and call volume are okay?

Only the kernel and FXP 28 rom?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Chris_Castro:
Kernel 043 and ROM 043

Flashed 043 "de-anted" over Blagus Kernel. Boots up normally.

Tried to Flash Kernel from Sep/20, and now my wi-fi works. I don't know for how long....Edit: Wi-fi still working perfectly....Ehhhhh...NOT REALLY....

3G as well.:D

---------- Post added at 09:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:44 PM ----------

Maybe a completely noob question, but is there a way we can make camera (and videocamera work using GDX's idea (porting Eclair camera libs) to this ROM?

I don't really care about radio, but picture quality and recording would be nice. Also, Ext2, but that I gave up already.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] ahmedz_1991:
ok, but what about audio loudness bug ?? is it audio lib's problem or what ?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] deani77:
It was funny... The thing we always want to be fix like Camera and FM Radio was not given hint by SE but useless ant+ feature (at least for me) was given fix...

Anyway... How about video recording... is it OK now?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] sapabg:
I don't think it's a ROM issue...the problem is in the kernel...and now when it is stopped...well back to stock even if CM release the new ROM when we do not have a working kernel we are screwed...anyway thanks for the hard work FXP...guess there is no sense of saying "keep it up" when you are not going to :D
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] amnher:
I agree. how can we enjoy cyanogenmod(Official version)? :( hope FXP and the team can somehow reconsider fixing it for one last time or lets hope SE will release lib
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] deani77:
From what I see, SE will not ever release it. It up to user now... They are more focus on new device as you see official unlock was only given to 2011 xperia...
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] viper001:
Actually try loading the FXP Kernel with any GB ROM with 3MP cam working in stock Kernel. You'll find that it works just as well in the FXP Kernel.:D
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] deani77:
Can you share your combination Kernel and ROM... I want to try it out...

Any link to latest kernel from FXP (Kernel only)...
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] WARR10r:
well.. what i wanted to ask.. did anyone managed to get working together GDx and fxp kernel? especially wifi drivers. for me GDx is perfect at all, but WiFi is too slow and unstable -__-

Audio Recording is OK

Video is not. I can hear the sound when pressing the record button, but that's about it.

---------- Post added at 04:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:23 PM ----------

I don't know about you guys, and J/FXP please don't take this personally.

I really appreciate your efforts to make our limited X8 work with GB from source.

I also understand you're supporting many different phones, so your bandwidth (time) is shared with different devices, as opposed to our wishes in terms of dedication.

Today I made a decision to go back to stock kernel, and flashed GDX 017. At the end of the day, it was simply too much of a hassle to deal with so many Kernel / ROM versions, and combos.

Also, since we won't have further development (only IF and WHEN SE decides to publish some of the libs for FM/Camera), it is too much painful to see all other phones with nightlies, and already a couple of stable versions on Cyanogen...

I know my X8 is "old" technology. I know I should be thinking about upgrading to a 2011 phone (which in a couple of months will be old b/c of 2012 lineup...)...But at this time, I will go back to a ROM (could be anyone's - at the moment testing DX's) with full functionality (Ext2, Camera @3Mp, Camcorder, FM, Wi-fi, 3G, in-call volume, and so on).

Kindest regards,

Using stock kernel and minicm7 with gdx's camera libs and radio. It is close as untouched cm7 and almost fully working (not sure about wifi hotspot and a few things I don't use).
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] rav3n_pl:
Can you please post somewhere what files you have copied?

I not found any post about that kind of merge and all my attempts failed :/
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] :
Download minicm7 with google apps related. Download latest gdx. Use 7zip or any zip explorer and locate the three camera related libs in system/lib (libcamera...) from gdx and copy them to the same folder in minicm7 archive. Do the same with radio.apk (system/app) if you want the one from gdx (as rds text position is fixed in gdx's radio). Flash the modified minicm7 and then google apps and do full wipe if you don't want cyan theme enabled by default or remove data/ from the archive before flashing it. It should work as it has worked many times for me.

If you like a stocklike setup then download launcher2.apk from gdx thread. Install launcherpro and set it up as default home app then remove adw launcher using titanium backup and then install launcher2 (default gingerbread launcher). Remove launcherpro. You're done.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] deani77:
That too bad since that feature was OK on FXP028 ROM and Kernel...

If X8 will have it own nightlies (which I really doubt about it), we will have nightlies with not functioning video recording...
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Chris_Castro:
Nightlies

That's the point. I've seen other devices with nightlies everyday, while our device shows only "to be included in the next nightly".

[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Chris_Castro:
MiniCM7

I just loved miniCM7, but after nAa crafted a new kernel for the X10 Mini (our version for X8 was ported by ponanovn), we got stuck without updates. Ponanovn could not do it because of the new Kernel and nAa had no X-8 to port version.

That's why I came to FXP.

[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] elderduke:
Policy

So, it looks like, in the end, no matter how much we begged and crawl, FreeXperia Team addopted the same position as SonyEricsson's official stand. Our device seems too old to worth the effort. I wonder if this fact is "motivated" (read this as you like it) or not, by the SE. ...Some influence I am sure there is. Some limits imposed, maybe?

But, at least, let's hope that even if developpment stopped, there will be left behind a fully functional ROM. I am happy with 2.3.5 if FXP is not able to deliver a 2.3.7. It will be more than 2.1 by SE anyway. I hope my understanding is corect, also by reading this:

"FreeXperia development stopped

Posted by gaiusjuliuscaesar on 2011/10/23

I’m sure a lot of readers know this already but the FreeXperia Project seems to have stopped development on the 2010 mini Xperia phones. It understand, from reading through the discussion forums, that they will finish getting the camera and FM radio fixed and the CM automated buildbot will update when a new CyanogenMod version comes out.

The general issues with developing for these devices are that the hardware is too old for the future (Android 4) and therefore not worth the effort for just one release of CyanogenMod.

It looks like, at the end of this, there will be a fully functioning CyanogenMod v7.1 but apart from that we’re back to square one.

I suppose the good news is that it was noted that the 2011 range hardware is more than capable"

Cheers,
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] viper001:
Here you go:D
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] sapabg:
seems like this is what SE meant when they said they'll help out developers :D haha...very helpful thanks! I really hope they make a fully functional rom tho.

anyway I am switching to LDX and GDX...at least he made his stable enough to use.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] deani77:
Since they are receiving support from SE, the are bound to follow what SE want or they will not receive any support from SE. :rolleyes:

SE already give statement that no further development for 2010 device, they will not give any support even to independent developer. Without that, not much FXP can do... As for user, we can choose which ROM serve us best...

Just try FXP028 ROM with 043a Kernel, Kernel version still "unknown". WiFi was OK when turn on but have not connecting to any WiFi source yet... Video recording not working but I didn't get FC when change mode to video recording. Kernel modified date was 29/2/2008???
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] egycorbel:
We are wasting our time

Ok, after all this and huge effort that FXP made I can say we are wasting our time to write to ask to report because it is already "STOPPED"

I think we all should forget this post and let it down to the bottom of the forum

I don't want to say thanks FXP because we have been simply like Lab rats testing the Rom and after all this we got disabled or hampered Rom and kernel. FXP left us just like that, telling us that our device became old. We didn't ask to have Ice Cream sandwich to X8 we just wanted Gingerbread which is not impossible to have on our device

I don't care about effort because I am a simple user want good stable Rom

So stop being here guys and go to GingerXperia or GingerDX or Minicm they are better, full functioned, stable & fast, what do we want more than this??!!
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Dexter_prog:
I agree, I have lost my hope in official CM support for X8. In fact, I don't get why they included our phone in their repertoire if they knew it would be dev-less among 1 week of its release...

[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Rycon33:
FXP, turning on wifi still bootloops the phone. Other than that rom is really fast and smooth.

What is exactly does he main by "Camera - Full Mode" not working?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] _JoaoCampos:
Well it may not bother you but it bothers many people, especially.

Besides, that's two functions the phone originally have but that are "gone" with this rom.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Dare-Devil Inside:
Hi guys. I came up with an idea.

How about someone else to fix remaining bugs and tweak a rom a little? Maybe some of remaining devs can do that? Or anybody else who has some coding expirience?

Or if not fixing FM/cam, at least to make kernel and rom work smooth like 028 was.

It would be really nice if anyone could finish the job. Source is on githtub. So..., please we are desperate... we were so close :D
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Rycon33:
+1 to the idea

agreed, FXP028 was the last kernel/rom that has been personally well for me(cam and FM aside)

that's why i always went back to that version

kernel/rom after FXP028 are all really fast and smooth and all, but got wifi bug and other problems
